Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 25
The 2021 Barolo Brunate opens with very pretty aromatics. Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, rose petal and blood orange emerge with some coaxing. On the palate, the 2021 feels a bit light, the result of severe frost damage that ultimately resulted in significant replanting following the 2023 harvest. The lack of textural depth is impossible to look past.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
